This site provided an attempt to predict the move of technology in education. This chart shows a potential for students to interact at a higher level while artificial intelligence helps teachers move to an ability to do away with physical teaching models. This seems rather difficult as teachers also help modify behavior and the social structure for students. As education originally functioned to assimilate students into a religious and social constructs, it would be interesting to know how this futuristic structure would address behaviors.
Many of the technological advances that move from 2012 to 2020 seem tangible. I know that much of technology has gone toward the ability to have digital classrooms and even eye tracking, though eye tracking has not been used much for students. Having these different parallels (between global communication, education, and invention) help strengthen the technological growth we will face. I notice that without one of the central pieces, the other main pieces would fail.
I found this very same diagram and thought that is was so interesting! Especially to consider that this isn't even all so far off -- Chances are that most of us in class will still be teaching in 2040, so to think of the potential for technology development over the course of that time and the adaptation it is going require of educators is both exciting and anxiety-inducing! It is so exciting to think that we'll be the generation of teachers really bridging that gaps!
